Guest Lecturing

Available for graduate programs, university courses, clinical training programs, and professional development series. Topics span trauma theory, nervous system-based interventions, ethics in trauma practice, experiential modalities, and the intersection of therapist wellness and clinical sustainability.

Melanie has trained therapists at the graduate and post-graduate level and brings the same rigor to guest lectures that she brings to full-length CE trainings — accessible without being oversimplified, clinically grounded without being dry.

Online or in-person | Single session or series | CE credit available for eligible programs

Custom Workshops for Therapists

Skill-building workshops designed for clinical teams, group practices, supervision groups, and professional associations. Content is built around your group's needs — from foundational trauma-informed care to advanced experiential modalities — and emphasizes practical application over passive learning.

All workshops can be submitted for NBCC continuing education credit through Groundwork Trauma Education (ACEP No. 7927) where eligible.

Topics include: Brainspotting + somatic approaches | Trauma-informed ethics | Nervous system regulation | Complex trauma + CPTSD | Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy | Psychedelic prep + integration | Therapist wellness + burnout | Practice-building for clinicians

Retreat Facilitation

Available to lead or co-create trauma-informed retreats for therapists and healing professionals. Retreat design draws on experiential, somatic, and embodied practices — creating space for both clinical skill development and personal regulation work. These are not lecture-based events; they are immersive, paced, and grounded in the same principles that shape Melanie's clinical work.

Available for day-long, weekend, or multi-day formats. Can be integrated into existing retreat programming or built from the ground up.

Day, weekend, or multi-day formats | Solo facilitation or co-facilitation | Nashville area or destination

Custom Workshops for Organizations

Trauma-informed education for non-clinical teams — healthcare organizations, schools, nonprofits, faith communities, and workplaces seeking to build a more informed, compassionate culture. Content is adapted for non-clinical audiences without losing clinical integrity, and is always oriented toward practical understanding rather than pathology.

Topics are shaped around your organization's context and can address trauma awareness, secondary traumatic stress, nervous system basics for teams, and creating psychologically safe environments.

Speaking + Keynotes

Available for conferences, symposia, professional summits, and community events. Melanie speaks on trauma, healing, therapist identity, clinical ethics, and the evolving landscape of trauma-informed practice — including emerging modalities like ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and psychedelic integration.

Her speaking style is direct and warm, grounded in lived clinical experience, and built to resonate with both professional and general audiences.

Podcast Guest Appearances

Available as a guest expert for podcasts focused on mental health, trauma, therapy, healing, psychedelics, end of life, and therapist professional development. Melanie is a co-host of the podcast "I'm Fine, It's Fine" and brings that same candid, informed, and human quality to guest appearances.

Conversations are engaging and accessible — equally at home on a clinical professional podcast and a general wellness or mental health show.

Topics include: Trauma + CPTSD | Nervous system + somatic healing | Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy | Psychedelic integration | End of life + death doula work | Therapist wellness + burnout | Building a values-aligned practice
